Turning Red

Chapter 8: The Hustle

"I love it." (Y/n) said.

"Fight the power!" Abby screamed.

"Yeah. Yeah. This isn't just our first concert. This is our first step into adulthood. And we have to do it together."

"I'm in dude. We'll say it's a sleepover at my house." Miriam suggested.

Abby gasped. "The perfect crime."

"Yes! My mom will never know. Now we just gotta raise the money for tickets. Come on guys, think!" Mei urged.

They all started trying to come up with ideas.

"You know what'll help me think? I little panda!" Abby requested.

"Abby..."

"Come on Mei. It'll clear my mind. Just a little hit! It's so cute!" Abby squealed.

"I don't know..."

"I wouldn't mind a little Panda either." (Y/n) smiled.

"Okay." Mei perked up.

Abby wrapped his arms around him and Mei took a deep breath.

...

In his daydreams, he thought of a big blue ocean, and (Y/n) swam in his vision with a mermaid tail.

"Hi Mei." She flirtatiously waved, and blew him a kiss.

...

Mei blushed and squealed and bounced around excitedly.

Poof!

Mei changed into his Red Panda form and Abby snuggled into his warm body.

"Aw! Your so cute!" (Y/n) squealed and rushed forward to hug him as well.

Mei wasted no time in hugging her to him.

"Happy?" Mei asked.

"Oh yeah. That's the stuff." Abby sighed happily.

"O-M-G!"

Everyone turned and saw the same girl from the bathroom standing in the doorway along with two other girls. Mei quickly ducked inside a stall.

"Ahh! Go away!" He yelled.

"That was you in the bathroom! I didn't imagine it!" The girl accused.

"Yeah, you did."

"Get lost Stacey."

"But he's like a magical bear?" One of the girls asked.

"Red Panda!" They corrected.

The girls stared at Mei for a moment and then squealed.

"You are the cutest thing ever!"

"Come out, please?!"

Poof!

Mei came out of the bathroom back to normal with a confused expression on his face.
